Changing country in business information

I'd been told that in order to change my billing account information to a different country I should cancel my adwords account and open a new account right after. Even though I moved within the EU.

The problem is that I can´t open a new account using my email address, because my previous account it is not really cancelled, but somehow "paused"... so its still using my email address... therefore I can't open a new account as suggested...

- Sign in to your AdWords account.-Click the gear icon and choose Account settings.-In the "Account cancellation" section at the bottom of the page, click Cancel this account. This option won't appear if your AdWords account is already canceled or if your user account doesn't have administrative access.-In the pop-up box that appears, you can follow links to troubleshoot common issues, leave us feedback about why you're canceling your account, and confirm that you want to cancel your account by clicking Cancel my account at the bottom
